1. the head of
Bureau IV Flag is entitled Operations
Aide. The earlier
title of
Production Aide is made
obsolete by the introduction of the
senior post of
Product Officer. His
opposite number in a
CLO is entitled A/Operations
Aide. To avoid
confusion with the
title Operations Officer, the
Aide's
title is always written in full, not abbreviated"Operations
Aide." "
Ops Aide" is incorrect. To further
differentiate, "
Ops Officer" now becomes "
Mission Ops Officer."
